Problem with tinting tail lights in my opinion is that for it to look really tight, you have to make it as black as possible....but that creates a safety hazard, so I couldn't recommend that.

I actually like it, and I'm the person who usually hates tinted taillights. Go for it!

It doesnt look too bad, but i think there's other, more appealing things that can be done to the tails. |

Really for me it's just preference nothing more, I like the contrast better with no tints on the lights... nothing more than that.. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, just not my cup of tea
